What is "elevation"?
Elevation refers to one of the vertical faces or sides of a building, showing its height and design features. In architecture, an elevation drawing provides a detailed representation of how that side looks, including elements like windows, doors, and rooflines.

Elevations help architects, builders, and clients understand the overall appearance and proportions of a structure, contributing to the planning and construction process.
